First order of business is a heart update! On Monday, Stevie had a cardiology appointment. His heart history is kind of a lot. There are plenty of posts dedicated to it: like this one, this one, and this one. It was such a major part of our lives his first few years. For now, we…
I had a few small accomplishments this past month that I didn’t plan. They just sort of transpired when my energy and mindset happened to align with the stars and rainbows and universe. It makes me want to go back and write down some goals in retrospect, just so I can cross them off. Anybody…
Hello! It’s been awhile! Hope everybody is staying well out there. We have been good-ish. Given the circumstances. I’m happy to report for this Week in the Life, all is well on the health and home front. We’re just dragging our butts through distance learning and trying to find little things to keep us busy…
This past week, I muted my regular content to make room for other — frankly, more important — voices. I did not need to be on my platform taking up any more space. Being quiet and listening was the easy part. I used my time away to study, research, follow, share, donate, sign petitions, text…
First of all, why do I have so many jobs? I’ve never been able to figure this out. WTF am I doing? What will I be when I grow up? I’ve brought them all on myself and don’t have a singular passion for any of them. I have this fantasy that one day I will…
Uhhhh, hello April. …and goodbye! Howdy May! …oh, we’re almost done. Sheesh. Is there some scientific explanation as to why the months and years feel faster as we get older? Because this is madness. This spring has FUH-LOWN by. And will lead into a busy summer too. School gets out in ONE WEEK for summer…
I know it’s a bold statement. A weighted blanket changed my life. Pfft. I guess what I really mean is it improved my sleep exponentially, which is basically life-changing for an exhausted mother. If you’ve been around the blog for any amount of time, you know we have a child who hates sleep. Just in…
Well ok, the birthday celebrations are winding down now, so they won’t go on forever. But I’ve had a pretty darn amazing couple of weeks, dragging it out as long as possible. Now listen… when I turned 30, I remember feeling so disappointed about my birthday and lack of a big, wild celebration. I think…
I am 40! I think my age finally matches my grumpy insides! Haha! I quickly ran through a few deep thoughts about getting old this morning with my husband. Expectations for myself, the weirdness of time (because time is freakin’ weird), how far we’ve come, and what’s coming next. But to be honest, this birthday…
It’s been awhile since I’ve opened my computer, let alone made it all the way over to my blog and written a daggum post! Taking stock is always an easy place to start over (again). So… hi! Making: This cocoon cardigan in olive green.Cooking: Pretty decent microwave dinners from Freshly.Sipping: Bubly. It very weirdly tastes…
